Greater Noida: Indore as model, GNIDA to seek private help for trash

GREATER NOIDA: Focused on Swachh Bharat Mission goals, the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has decided to rope in an NGO to handle sanitation and waste management. It has set aside Rs 4.60 crore, officials said.
The NGO selected through the tender that was floated this week would have to ensure elimination of open defecation and manual scavenging, and help the authority with strict enforcement of rules, officials said.
GNIDA CEO Narendra Bhooshan said, "The NGO would also have to keep an eye on housing societies, bulk waste generators as well as contractors hired for managing, disposing, recycling or treating the waste." GNIDA wants to emulate the Indore model, which has topped the Swachh Bharat survey thrice.
